I wouldn't worry about the hdd space as anyone knows you can update that at anytime. ie what is the point of the 80gig. But not everyone knows this. I think ppl will buy the ps3 40g as it's still a ps3 and only a ps3. I see no real issue. I mean when you play ps2 games on the ps3 it's inferior anyway, compared to the ps2 and the emotional engine (pal).
I looked around Harvey Norman (Aust) and asked how well the ps3 40g was going. The guy said selling fast as it is cheaper. I don't know if he is bull shitting me, but it will be interesting to see if it does go well.
I think mainly hardcore players are disappointed as they want the whole package. I'm, sooo glad I got a launch ps3 :D It's kinda rare now. But I gather alot of people who wanted a ps3 but the price was a little hefty, this seems to be in reach now. Esp with Ratchet and Uncharted, it should appeal to more hardcore - med-core players.
